Criminalization is a new series arising from an interdisciplinary
investigation into criminalization, focusing on the principles and
goals that should guide decisions about what kinds of conduct are
to be criminalized, and the forms that criminalization should take.
Developing a normative theory of criminalization, the six volumes
will tackle the key questions at the heart of the issue: By
reference to what principles and goals should legislations decide
what to criminalize? How should criminal wrongs be classified and
differentiated? And how should law enforcement officials apply the
law's specification of offenses?
Boundaries of the Criminal Law is the first book in this series
examining the scope and boundaries of the criminal law.
Investigations into the scope of the criminal law have often
focused on the harm principle, the principle that conduct can be
justifiably criminalized only if it is harmful, or other master
principles that might determine the proper scope of the criminal
law. This collection of original essays by some of the leading
scholars in criminal law and philosophy from the UK and the US
makes significant advances in the development of a broader range of
ideas that might inform criminalization decisions.
A range of issues are discussed, including the significance for
criminalization of ideas of moral wrongdoing and of using a person
as a means, the distinction between criminal law and other forms of
legal regulation, the role of new technology in our understanding
of the evolving scope of the criminal law, and the role of criminal
justice officials in decision-making about criminalization. The
authors draw on legal and philosophical sources, but also on
history, sociology and social psychology in their investigations
for a truly interdisciplinary approach.
This is a groundbreaking set of essays which will help to reorient
legal and philosophical discussion about the proper scope of the
criminal law.
